The origin of Dafang Miao cauliflower festival in Guizhou

According to legend, in ancient times. Miao ancestors lived in the plain area, with vast territory, rich resources, prosperous population and living and working in peace and contentment. However, with the occurrence of an epic war, the Miao tribe was extinct. Chiyou, the leader of Miao nationality, his nine sons and eight daughters gave their precious lives in the flag-grabbing battle on the third, fourth and fifth day of the first month, while the rest of Miao ancestors were scattered everywhere, wandering in other places in order to gather the lost people. Miao ancestors rallied. On the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year, on the top of the highest mountain, they set up two proudly standing battle flags, which are now flower poles with colorful flowers, and held sacrificial ceremonies on the third and fourth days of the first month of the following year to commemorate Chiyou, his descendants and those who died. When offering sacrifices, the mountains are full of martial arts.

However, with the changes of the times, the living habits of the Miao people have changed, and now the flower-picking festival of the Miao people is presented in another way in this era. Nowadays, the flower picking festival is not just a sacrifice, but a blind date ceremony for Miao people by using the ceremony of the flower picking festival. Miao unmarried girls wear it, and miao clothing made by mother is as beautiful as flowers.

Unmarried Miao girls wear their black belts and wait for unmarried boys in the flower fields. If a boy has a crush on a girl she likes. I ran to communicate with the girl I like. If Xinyi likes him, she will give the black and white belt made by their mother to the boy she likes.

Every place in them has a square of professional flower picking festival, and some even have a lot of people on the mountain. Every New Year, Miao people go wherever they are. They all want to go home. Unmarried boys and girls can find their favorite partner if they want to get married. Some boys and girls even show their advantages on the big stage, and they can sing and dance well to attract their favorite boys and girls. With the changes of the times, the Miao people's flower-picking festival is not only a sacrifice to their ancestors, but also a use of this festival to make Miao adults get married and hope that the beautiful and kind Miao people will have a bright future.
